What have you done with or to your M3 today?

FrozenE92M3 · 06-11-2020, 06:35 PM

Used a cutoff tool to remove stripped rear strut, put new struts in and gave her a wash.

Shiny thing.

I'm curious myself. I have an appointment next Friday to have them mounted, so can't comment at this point. And keeping the 220's for now - I still like them.

I suggest you hit him up via PM. My neighbor was up there for Rod Bearing service and brought them back down to Austin for me. They don't do a lot of advertising or ecom because they are so busy. I assume they'd be happy to ship for you though. Really happy with the product and the owner is a really great guy.

I'd looked at used sets but people asking ridiculous prices for these, most of which need refinishing. By the time I'd refinish a used set, I'm getting pretty close to cost new, so that's the route I went.

Considering this also. Where did you find the best price?

I got them from www.getbmwparts.com, I get most of my stuff from them. $2370 with free shipping.

Other than the BMW dealership parts department not that many places sell them. EAS lists them for $2850 and not sure if their shipping is free.

damn.. that's a great steal.

Epoustouflant · 06-12-2020, 07:58 PM

- 3 stage polish, sealer and Meguiar's HCW
- sanded (500 wet and up) + polished headlights
- minor inside trim work (push stop ring refresh)
- fitted 285-35-19 at the back on OE ZCP + 12MM spacers, no rub

Grip Addict · 06-12-2020, 09:31 PM

I hooked it on a Optima charger.

Ashley_rj · 06-12-2020, 10:45 PM

What tires are you running?

I'm also running 285/35/19 tires but on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S paired with 359M wheels - 7mm spacers and I rub ( I think on the rear bumper tab).

roastbeef · 06-12-2020, 11:20 PM

Took her to the track!

Expressivedrives · 06-13-2020, 05:08 AM

We installed new camber plates (Millway Motorsport, Sweden) and dialled front camber -2.5 degrees in.

Replaced the rubber windshield trim with an oem replacement. Easier job than it appeared to be.

Please show a photo. I think I may give this a try.

irokwrx · 06-13-2020, 08:40 PM

I added an AC unit in my garage. That way I am not dying of heat or cold when I am working on her. Not that hard or expensive. It keeps my garage very cool.
